You could try to live with 1 MB for a start. And look into other 
existing drivers if the i945 GTT is programmed differently than that of 
earlier chips. Maybe the memory MUST reside in the AGP aperture which 
is currently not really possible with Haiku. I have no idea :-)
You could also send me your laptop and I'll make it work ;-))
